How much disk space does Intellifile require to store all of my scanned documents?
A.05 Intellifile’s advanced scanning technology uses Adobe PDF file format and typically occupies about 50k of hard drive space for a single page. This means that each gigabyte (GB) of storage space (which costs only a few dollars) will hold approximately 20,000 pages. With the rapid drop in prices for hard drives, optical media and scanners, it costs much less to store documents on your computer than it does with paper. In fact, when you consider all the expense factors involved with hardcopies (e.g. paying someone to constantly file paperwork; assigning expensive office space to accommodate filing cabinets; loss of time in retrieving paperwork; dealing with misplaced paperwork; etc.), it simply doesn’t make financial sense to continue operating a business with yesteryear thinking.
